When Izromos had finally figured out how the damn key worked with his door, his clothes were stiff and itchy.
Now I can understand why we do not bathe in our clothes, he thought as he took his bow and quiver off, leaning them against the wall. His tunic had started to itch unbearably so and so he pulled it off, leaving him only in his leather trousers. The scales on his body shimmered off the moonlight that had filtered in through the window, making him appear as a fish out of water.
Carrying his tunic, he walked towards the window and opened it, letting the breeze come in. Draping the clothing on the ledge, he then closed it a bit so it would not fly outside when dried.
Where are those candles, he thought as he moved around the room with ease. He was so use to candle light that it never occurred to him that there might be other forms of light.
After searching for a while, when he didn’t find one, he noticed that there was an odd… contraption on the wall.
“I wonder…,” he said as he grabbed the little device and pushed it up.
“ԸծՀ!" suddenly the room was filled with light. Squinting his eyes, he quickly flipped the device back down. Was this what the rich and nobility called artificial light? After a moment of staring at the weird thing, he flipped the switch up again and instead of quickly shutting it off he left it on. Keeping his eyes closed, he counted to ten before opening them. And this time, it wasn’t so bright.
It had taken several moments for Izromos to adjust to the fake light, but finally when he did, he could look around his room.
"In Awake, they do not have chamber pots, they have restrooms or bathrooms," he had remembered Elizra telling him.
I wonder what this bathroom looks like, he thought as he looked around his room. He had been informed that every room had it’s own bathroom. But how did one know what it looked like if they had never seen one before.
Out of the corner of his eye, Izromos found a door. Not knowing where it led to, he walked towards it and opened it. It was dark, as his main room had been until he found the switch. Feeling around on the wall for a similar switch, when he flipped it on he found himself in a room of white. He wasnt sure what any of the mechanics in the room were but they were all so odd. He walked over to the first thing that caught his eye. The shape reminded him of a wash tub, but he wasn't sure. There was a curtain off to the side, which he didn't understand. Shiny knobs were attacked to the wall, and above them higher up was a weird... Fountain? Curious, Izromos turned the knobs. Suddenly, water came out of the spout near the knobs and Izromos was amazed.
It had taken him a while, but finally Izromos was introduced to the modern day washtub. He had looked at the other thing and found that it was a modern day chamber pot. Looking around he found soaps to wash himself. There were even soaps specifically for his hair. He had a brush, a soft towel, and something that was in a package of some weird sort named "toothbrush". He wasn't sure how to use it, his teeth didn't have hair.
Leaving the bathroom, he went to his wardrobe to find something formal to wear. When he opened the trunk, the first thing he saw was something... Odd covering human clothing. On the material was a note.
Wear this for any event. There is a shirt, you button it up and tuck it in the black trousers. The trousers have metal teeth, be careful when you take the little device to pull them together. There is a thing called a 'tie'. You should ask a co-worker to help you. Take the leather belt and lace it through the loops on the trousers. These black things are socks. You put them on your feet. Also, wear undergarments.
Good luck.It was clear the note was from Elizra. Taking out the encased outfit from the chest, he slowly took it out of the weird film. When it was out he noticed the outfit. It was weird, strange, but it was required to wear such a thing. Looking down at his current apparel, he wonder if it would be a good time to bathe in the washtub. Grabbing the outfit, and the shoes that were with it as well as the 'socks' and undergarments, decided to head into the bathroom to figure out how to bathe.
A half hour later, he came out of the room with damp hair that had been brushed neatly back into his ponytail and an outfit much too uncomfortable for him. He had figured out how to work the odd pipe with the foreign nozzle. It turned out to be a different passage for the water to get out of and a much faster way then filling the washtub full of water. Getting dressed hadn't been so difficult, since the trousers weren't that hard to figure out, and even he knew how to wear a belt. The 'tie' however, he did not know how to work and merely held it in his hands. His shoes were laced properly and he looked handsome. Though, the clothes were odd, they were clean. He wondered how to wash them. After using the odd chamber pot and 'brushing his teeth' he was ready to leave. Grabbing his room key, he slipped it into one of the holes in his trousers (which he assumed were pockets). The clothes baffled him but he would adjust.
